Shaquille O’Neal says LeBron James isn’t ring chasing—he’s chasing greatness “I don’t like y’all calling my man a ring chaser. I don’t think it’s fair. The people that don’t have rings are the ones saying, ‘Oh, he’s a ring chaser.’” “No. He’s continuing to chase the chance to be great and continue to add to his legacy. When this thing is over, it’s over. You can’t come back once you retire.” “This guy feels he has two or three years left. Why not try to get another championship? I did it. Towards the end of my career, I went to Boston to see if I could win one. That’s what he’s doing.”

Shaquille O’Neal says LeBron James should chase another championship, not worry about the critics “I think he’s going to go somewhere he can win another ring.” “Maybe Miami. Maybe Golden State. Maybe even Philly.” “Once we’re done playing, we can never play again.” “You never want to retire saying, ‘I should have done this. I should have done that.’” “A lot of haters call it ring chasing.” “But you’re supposed to chase rings.” “If you chase rings and accomplish getting them, that’s what we call greatness.” “Those who haven’t achieved greatness call it ring chasing because they haven’t achieved greatness.”

Shaquille O’Neal asks Iman Shumpert if Steph Curry belongs with LeBron James and Michael Jordan Shaquille O’Neal: “Should we start including Steph Curry in the greatest of all time?” Iman Shumpert: “As a point guard?” Shaquille O’Neal: “No. With Bron, Mike, Jordan. Can we put him in there?” Iman Shumpert: “Technically, yes. Personally, no.” “I speak off experience from having to usually guard the best player. There are certain players that you guard that you can’t do nothing with.” “Steph, because he’s, I don’t know, he uses a lot of stuff, like to get open, like he going around screens. Like if you could switch and do enough and not let him get the ball, you might make it out okay.” Shaquille O’Neal: “And I never thought about it like that.”

Shaq says LeBron joining the 76ers wouldn’t work because of one thing Host: Philadelphia is waiting to explode, and if he delivers it, this city will ride for LeBron. Shaquille O’Neal: And that’s why it’s not going to work, in my opinion. Tyrese Maxey just worked his ass off to become the man, then Bron comes. Now we got Joel Embiid, it’s too many egos. Three or four people are going to have to say, “All right, you go.” Host: Tyrese Maxey is the guy who I think deserves almost all of the credit for LeBron going there. Embiid has already publicly said, “It’s Maxey’s team. He’s the franchise.” I think LeBron is at that stage of his career where he’s not going to fight. He’s trying to win. Shaquille O’Neal: Not about fight, LeBron likes the ball. Likes to touch it. Host: He also loves making the right pass at the right time. Iman Shumpert: That’s the thing that’s cool about them. It’s 48 minutes, and Bron’s not trying to dominate it for 48 minutes. Shaquille O’Neal: Okay, but hold on. If you touch the ball for six, seven, eight seconds, Bron’s not a catch-and-go with it. When was Jaylen Brown’s best year? Iman Shumpert: Last year. Shaquille O’Neal: Okay, when he had the ball. He’s not going to have that. Iman Shumpert: It’s hard to say, “Coming off my best year, I got to put my ego down.” Shaquille O’Neal: Exactly. Iman Shumpert: Kevin Love was 40 and 20, people! Shaquille O’Neal: On paper, they look deadly, but I’m just trying to think ego-wise. Iman Shumpert: I don’t think they got no ego left. You just want a ring, you just want to win at this point. Shaquille O’Neal: Once I got my name for myself, I’m not stepping back for nobody. Iman Shumpert: That’s why you were Shaq. That’s why you got four of them.

Draymond Green explains to Shaquille O’Neal why Kobe Bryant is often left out of the GOAT conversation Shaquille O’Neal: “How come my guy’s not in that conversation?” Draymond Green: “Kobe? Yes, for sure. One hundred percent.” “Here’s why I think he’s not.” “Number one, he played with you, and people hold that against him.” “Number two, Kobe kind of fell in a weird era.” “When Shaq left, the Lakers had a few rough years.” “They weren’t winning, even though Kobe’s numbers were incredible.” “At the same time, LeBron was rising in Cleveland and making his name.” “I don’t think Kobe was the consensus best player in the league for long enough.” “Then LeBron entered the conversation.” “From that point on, it became a tug of war.”

Shannon Sharpe on Charles Barkley comments about LeBron James saying he needs to stop being greedy and join the Cavs for his final season: “So, let me ask you a question. If he goes to the Cavaliers, what are they going to say? He ring chasing. Anywhere he goes. But here’s the thing, they could say that about Charles. He went to Houston. What was he trying to do in Houston, Joe? He linked up with Scottie Pippen and Hakeem Olajuwon. What were you trying to do? He was trying to win a ring. In all seriousness, Yeah, he was. Now he can say he was over the hill, but you didn’t think that. There is not a place. If LeBron goes to Miami, what are they going to say? He’s ring chasing. If he goes to Golden State, he’s ring chasing. He goes to Philly, he’s ring chasing. If he goes to the Nuggets, he’s ring chasing. The team that he’s going to is because he wants to win.” (Via Nightcap)

Shaq on LeBron James' decision: “I’m sure he wants to go somewhere where he has a really good chance of winning. A lot of people call it ring chasing. It’s not ring chasing. It’s just defining your legacy. He did it the right way. More power to LeBron if he can get with a team and try to get one more ring. At this point, when we talk about LeBron’s legacy, we’re just talking about extra credit.” (via Sports Illustrated)

Shaquille O’Neal reveals the lesson Michael Jordan taught him after blocking his shot. Jimmy Fallon: “Here’s you playing against Michael Jordan for the first time. What’s going through your mind here?” Shaquille : “Michael Jordan was like a god to me.” “I was terrified being out there with Michael Jordan for the first time.” “I blocked his shot and fouled him, and I said to myself, ‘Okay… he’s human. I can compete.’” “I told him, ‘Mr. Jordan, I’m sorry.’” “He said, ‘Don’t ever help anybody up. Hard foul. I love it.’” “After Mike spoke to me, I knew he was human, I was human, and that’s what I was chasing.”

Charles Barkley says LeBron James should finish his career with the Cavaliers—not the Warriors or 76ers “My biggest criticism of LeBron has always been that he packs his teams.” “He’s chasing this imaginary Michael Jordan ghost.” “If he goes to Philly, people are going to say he’s ring chasing.” “If he goes to Golden State, they’re going to say he’s ring chasing.” “He has no affiliation with Philadelphia or Golden State.” “What he does have is his hometown team.” “The Cavaliers are probably going to be favored to win the East.” “They’ve got a good team—they’re just lacking leadership.” “LeBron’s a great leader.” “To me, it would be the fitting way for him to finish his career.” “Stop getting greedy too.”
